The Road Marked: Horrible Things

Early on in the educational process a teacher states that Iceland
has a warmer climate than Greenland. After the educational process
is completed, foreign beer has usurped domestic. Hell bubbles up
in the form of civil arguments. The road I walk
has not forked, and is filled with trust falls. Team building
exercises only cause dissonance.
I hate all of them.
That's Theodore for you. He sits in a dark corner. Having moved
the barstool to accommodate his welling desire to connect
through solitude. Theodore was an accountant, he wasn't
a team player. He is ignored.

Theodore wants Anne. Her body
is pressed against the bar. She needs tending to,
but the bartender is busy and has his hands full of domestic beer.
I went to school with Anne and occasionally see her
at the record store she works at.
She studied accounting and drinks foreign beer. While
on a sunny day in Iceland a man enjoys a cold Bud Lite.
